The Professional 1.0

Low-budget indie games tend to be some of the most creative around, assuming they aren't just flipping assets poorly in Unity. Without the budget to dazzle the audience with beautiful graphics, they instead need to focus on something else to stand out. These restrictions can lead to some very creative premises. Let's look at The Professional.

To install The Professional, simply unzip the files inside the archive into any folder you want.

This game knows what it's about. The second you hit start, you're treated to a zoom in on the diamond you're after, which is protected by a single laser grid. You slowly pan over to your character, then you take one step...and fall on your face.

If you've played QWOP, you know exactly what you're in for. In your way is a single crate and a laser grid with massive gaps that would be incredibly simple to best for any normal human being. However, much like QWOP, these instead turn into some of the most insurmountable obstacles in all of gaming. You need to shimmy and worm your way along the ground like a newborn baby without any control of their limbs by clicking and dragging various parts of the protagonist's body.

You can't lose in this game. Even if you hit the laser grid, it will just send you flying back slightly and change your pose into an even sillier pose than what it was.

And, of course, after that, you need to actually go back the way you came with the diamond, which somehow makes the game twice as funny.

All in all, The Professional is an incredibly unique game that everybody should check out.
